I know very little about Salad from Melbourne, Australia except that he is very talented- and very different than the Canadian artist called Salad we featured a few years back. This remix is for a project called Jubilants who have a unique and dynamic sound [You can check them out here].
This remix definitely does the original justice. I really dig it. Hopefully this is the first of many from Salad.

Project 46′s “Jigsaw” is an epic trance track that samples Jigsaw from the popular film Saw. The electronic pieces in it are flawless. They are working on a lot of big label releases as of recent but wanted to continue to give away a bunch of free stuff for their listeners on their soundcloud, hype machine and fan pages! Tune in to get in on the action.
Everett James latest single “Shot Through the Heart” is an electro-soul confession of future blues that pulses with analogue synths and emotion. It has been getting major love around the world. Most notably Gilles Peterson of BBC radio one has given it multiple spins.
If you dig this track you will definitely love the album metamorphosis. It’s an amalgamation of soul and electro that’s unlike anything you have ever heard before. Every song on it is gold.
The concept for Metamorphosis album began before the birth of Everett James’ son Isaac. Everett felt an evolution within that changed him from what he thought he was into the man he is now. This evolution was a complete transformation that surpassed even what he thought he would become. Everett began the writing process new years 2011, while performing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and continued creating songs throughout the year. The idea behind the sound of the record was to blend live instrumentation, analogue, and digital sounds in a way that was musical. Everett pulled inspiration from seeing the birthplace of humanity in Africa and witnessing his family grow. He hopes you feel the change in the music and the energy of life in the song
Based in Nashville TN, Ugly Kids Club is the music collaboration of Steve Wilson (producer, songwriter, guitarist) and Aliegh Shields (vocalist, lyricist, guitarist). The pair formed in early 2011 when they discovered their shared love for minimalistic rock duos such as Sleigh Bells, Crystal Castles, and The Kills.
Steve is a Grammy Nominated rock producer and songwriter by day working with bands such as The Juliana Theory and Jonezetta. Aliegh is a bartender who grew up on stage and in her bedroom teaching herself guitar. Their contrasting musical backgrounds helped form their unique sound of crunchy beats, fuzzy guitars, and undertones of synth-pop. Check out “My Soul”, off the duo’s self titled debut album released January 10th on iTunes…

“Dongdan” is the first single from a new album’ The Beijing Gang’ by producer and composer Chris Bemand. Chris has released many innovative electronic albums since his early days with acid jazzsters Marden Hill and filmic Chill Out group 45 Dip. He has collaborated with Ashley Beedle ( Ballistic Brothers/Xpress 2) Rob Dougan,(Clubbed to Death) and Mark Doyle (Hed Kandi) . As well as a large discography, Chris has written and produced countless scores for all kinds of TV shows including mainstream cartoon series, Bafta nominated Skunk Fu! and King Arthur’s Disasters. He’s also known for writing choral stings for top shows including the X-Factor and Top Gear.
Dongdan is a clever, quirky fusion of classical Chinese instruments paired with contemporary beats as has ever been heard before. Chris recorded in Beijing with a handful of virtuoso musicians from Peking Opera and the resulting blend is original and unique. Chris also worked with film director Ed Bignell to produce a series of promotional videos (shot in Beijing) to accompany each single release.
Chris explains ‘I was in Beijing and found the most vibrant club scene, but they were playing generic Western music. I couldn’t understand why no home grown music was being played in the clubs and bars so I decided to experiment.” Chris set up a studio in Beijing and put his huge experience and creativity to the task of creating something modern, danceable and interesting whilst keeping the integrity of the Far Eastern flavour of the music intact. “All the musicians on the album are at the top of their game but most had never played on Western Music before and couldn’t imagine a fusion of the two styles,” commented Chris. “They were all knocked out with the finished tracks. The album is intricate but cool, a real feast for the aural senses.”
Squirky Music Ltd is a new label which releases eclectic and original filmic music.

We’re always happy to hear from, Retrotation, AKA Matt Olick, especially when he captivates and mystifies with tales of thrash bands backdropped by a 20 foot screen, with an SNES hooked up…he also had some new music to share as he continues to sweep away the ashes from a recent power supply fire. He’s currently working with MegaClown, a collaboration that intrigues us, but he wanted to pass along a pair of fresh tracks in the mean time. Retrotation makes melodic, vivid dubstep that invites the curiosities of dub newbies, and frankly his stuff is a great jump off point if you’re new to the genre, as his work is versatile enough to satisfy a great many tastes…

Jason Beatty, of Revolution 9, passed along a new track from. NYC singer Selena Mars. Her new single “Disco Fever” was produced and written by Revolution 9, and it will be released on September 6 via Scarab Records. Enjoy a very cinematic teaser-trailer for the video and song that should mark the beginning of Selena’s coming out party…
“Selena Mars is an international songbird. She is the voice and image of true diva. Like Nina and Aretha before her, she carries the torch, and shows us what a real superstar, with presence and poise, is made of.”
It’s Saturday night and you go to bed at 11 pm. You set your alarm clock for 5 am in the morning. You wake up, have a couple beers for breakfast, and then you’re ready for the floor. You arrive at Bergain, Panorama bar, Berlin at 6 am. Most likely you show up to find Johanna Knutsson at the DJ booth. Johanna is the latest star on the more mellow techno scene within Berlin- the scene that peaks at 7 am when the party starts over again.
This is the latest single from This Is Head, now in one exclusive remix. We’re proud to present De Trop (Johanna Knutsson Cosmic Support Remix).

This Is Head – De Trop (Johanna Knutsson Cosmic Support Remix)
Rusko has redefined all that is dubstep. Once graduated from Leeds College of Music with a degree in Music Performance, Rusko became heavily immersed in the world of Dubstep through the Leeds based event “Sub Dub” and the closely connected Northern counterpart of Digital Mystikz “DMZ” events, which were both held at the West Indian Centre. Rusko moved to London to work with the record labels Sub Soldiers and Stingray Records and connect with now no longer associated act Caspa. Together the two honed a new sound that was unlike any other.
Rusko made his production debut in 2006 on Dub Police with the song SNES Dub.By 2007 he released Babylon, Vol. 1 with Sub Soldiers. Steering away from the darker side of Dubstep, Rusko brought an upbeat sound to the scene that appealed to many outside the community. Rusko’s extremely successful hit Cockney Thug has appeared on various DJ sets and mixes including Pete Tong, Switch, M.I.A. and Santigold. His music has been remixed by artists Buraka Som Sistema as well as Drop the Lime, Scratch Perverts, Sub Focus and fellow act Caspa. Rusko also did his own productions and remixes of artists like Adele and A-Trak featuring Kid Sister.
Rusko worked with M.I.A. on her third album release Maya. Rusko’s newest album release is titled OMG and was released on Mad Decent Records on 3 May 2010 in the United Kingdom and 4 May 2010 in the United States.
He is also said to have worked on tracks with Rihanna and T.I. and has produced optional material for Britney Spears’ upcoming album. On November 8, 2010 Rusko’s house and production studio in Silverlake caught on fire. The fire started when Belinda’s Porsche caught fire in his carport. He managed to save the hard drives from the studio computers.
As a thank you for Christopher Mercer’s notorious work in the studio, we have a selection of hard pressed historic beats from the English producer. Check out the past below.
